AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent Hermès scarf in silk twill titled "Springs", designed by the artist Philippe Ledoux in 1974, reissued in 1981.
A classic among Hermès scarves.
Hand-rolled.
Made in France.
Hermès Paris logo, Hermès C copyright, signature of the artist Ledoux.
Presence of a composition label.
A bit of history:
"Inspired by an engraving kept at the château de la Malmaison, this scarf by Philippe Ledoux, one of the house Hermès' historic designers, features in its center the Phaéton of Napoleon I's son. This horse-drawn carriage takes its name from the son of Helios, the personification of the sun in Greek mythology. Seizing his father's solar chariot, which he lost control of, Phaethon perished after nearly kissing the world. This sumptuous little carriage is adorned with all the attributes of the Empire. Built in 1812 by the coachbuilder Tremblay, it is kept at Schönbrunn Palace, in Vienna, where the emperor's son lived for much of his life."
According to the Arfon edition art scarf dictionary, it is considered fairly rare and fairly sought-after (photo attached).
Very good vintage overall despite a tiny stain (last photo).
Will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number.
